2nd Amendment ---- and other superfluous provisions

[betgo]

The official slave patrols before the Civil War, which were the precursors of the KKK, would search slave quarters for any weapon, not just fire arms, as well as any written material, not just antislavery pamphlets. The would look for any group of slaves congregating. Any slave wandering about without a pass from his master would be whipped.

Therefore the 14th Ammendment might be seen as giving blacks the same 2nd Ammendment rights as the whites had.
